Residents hit out at plans to build electrical grid in Bishopton
The proposal, which was put forward by Scottish Power Energy Networks on January 30, would see the construction of a primary substation, with associated apparatus, fencing, de-mountable floodlights and an access track, on Glenluce Drive in Dargavel. The application insists that the development is "essential to meet the growing electricity demand in the area because of the development of the remaining residential plots and the new primary school being constructed in the village". However, a number of residents from nearby estates have raised concerns about the project, with over 200 objections launched against the plans at the time of writing.

He said: "As soon as this application went in and we opposed it after the initial shock, it was fenced off and could no longer be used by locals, despite the application still being under consideration. "Everyone I have spoken to is absolutely scunnered, if I am honest. "I have not been impressed with how SPEN or BAE Systems have conducted themselves during the process, both in terms of their communications and planning. "The fact that no residents will be present for the site visit is also ridiculous. "The application that SPEN submitted initially was deficient in many aspects, which the residents pointed out. "SPEN were then giving the opportunity to submit further documents and eventually a revised application was submitted." A consultation on the plans was held on March 28, with a site visit set to take place on Tuesday, August 19.

He continued: "My children's room overlooks where SPEN are proposing to build this monstrosity. "My neighbours have a number of health concerns and are worried what this will mean for them. "Safety and noise pollution are two other things I worry about as well as health concerns. "It would also be a real eyesore and it is sad we could potentially lose a green space. "I understand the need for electricity, but there are so many other areas that could be on built on that BAE Systems owns." SPEN have had the right to maintain the infrastructure of the land, which BAE Systems owns, since 2012. Agnes O'Hara, another resident who lives in the same estate, also expressed similar concerns about the plans. She said: "When we bought the house, we did it on the understanding that the area where the substation could be built now was to be a community woodland area. "I also have concerns about the wildlife at the site, such as badgers and otters. We have been told that no animals will be a risk if the application goes ahead, but I have my doubts. "I also have a mechanical heart valve and anything magnetic near me is not good. "I know SPEN have made that clear that whatever is emitted from the site will not pose any risks but that is still a worry. "I am also recovering from cancer and all this has done since it started is cause me distress. "There is a human impact that some people don't see." Renfrewshire Council say they are unable to comment on live planning applications. READ MORE: New shop and cafe opens in area of Paisley Councillor Colin McCulloch also echoed the residents' sentiments around the plans. He said: "My objections are due to the fact that I fail to understand why this has to be built beside residential properties when the site is so built. "It seems to be the easiest option rather than the option that works best for everyone. "I think the majority of people who live beside the site would not have bought their houses if they knew it was going to be built." Councillor James MacLaren added: "There are a number of things that are concerning about this. "The site visit is coming up and I understand that residents are concerned that they are unable to be present during the visit when members of the Planning Board are there. "I understand this might look a bit fishy, particularly if SPEN engineers are in attendance. "My understanding is at these types of site visits, local residents and the applicants would be unable to say anything to the Planning Board members anyway. "Residents do have a lot to be concerned about as they bought their houses not expecting something like this to be built beside their homes and now they could be having a substation." A BAE Systems spokesperson said: "The new sub-station planning application, which is within the location of a former sub-station, was submitted by SPEN. "All matters associated with the applications have been managed and co-ordinated by SPEN." A spokesperson for SPEN said: "The planning application for a new substation on land owned by BAE Systems in Bishopton will be considered by Renfrewshire Council later this month and has been subject to extensive discussions with local representatives, which also included an offer to attend any community meetings that were organised. "The substation is designed to meet increasing demand for electricity as a result of local developments and to ensure a reliable and resilient energy supply as more people make the switch to greener technologies like electric vehicles and heating. "A detailed site selection process was carried out, which identified the proposed site location – previously home to an electrical substation – as the least impactful and fully compliant with all relevant regulations and guidance, based on the submitted design. "It will also be subject to extensive screening and planting by BAE Systems, which goes above and beyond what was originally proposed in direct response to feedback from local representatives. "We await the council's decision."

Team appointed to support wildflower meadows in Denbighshire
Denbighshire County Council has introduced Nature Recovery Streetscene Operatives to help maintain and enhance the county's wildflower meadows as part of its wider climate and ecological emergency response. Councillor Barry Mellor, lead member for environment and transport, and the council's biodiversity champion, said: "The new Nature Recovery Streetscene Assistants will really help us improve the management of our meadows across the county. "Having the team will help us to be more direct in the way we maintain the sites, especially those that might need deeper intervention to help them flourish stronger to be a better resource for local nature." The Wildflower Meadows Project supports biodiversity and community wellbeing and is funded by the Welsh Government through the Local Nature Partnerships Cymru ENRaW scheme. During the 2024 season, 297 different wildflower species were recorded across the sites, with a total of 5,269 individual wildflowers logged. Mr Mellor said: "This team alongside our biodiversity officers will work together to make a real and positive impact on the conservation of important species and habitats within Denbighshire and add diversity and colour across our sites for all ages to enjoy, along with the pollinators at risk who help put food on our tables." The council says the new roles will allow for more focused management of the meadows, supporting long-term habitat improvement. The operatives will be carrying out early cuts and collections at some sites to reduce soil nutrients, limit grass growth, and encourage greater wildflower diversity. Outside of wildflower season, the team will also support other nature conservation and tree maintenance work across the county. Streetscene operatives currently work with the council's biodiversity team to manage the county's meadows, as part of their wider maintenance responsibilities.
